Patented May" 19,1931 We wILLram-Jiorrn i; on CLEVELAND, 01110 r i NoisePnoDuoI Nd-moY V This invention relates 'to and toys and moreparticularly to a deviceadapted to be hand operated and bymean's ofwhichloud noises'may be produce One object of theiinvention is to provide anoise; producing device which'is very simple in construction and easy tooperate and by means of which loud clattering noises may: be produced.The device a is "particularly gin tended for useduri'ng' carnivals,during ball games between opposing schools and at other times whenparticipants for an audience de? sires to makefnoises. a e ,s

Another object; of the invention is'tojproagainst such movement; therebycausing them to retur njto an extended position and permittingthe deviceto .be very easilyoperated.

Another object of the'invention is to so form one of the telescopingsectionsthat'the the; inner head 7 of the inner section and while thisopening is of sufiicient size to permit the volume of noise produced maybe controlled when thejdevice is infuse. I

illustrated in wherein I Figure 1 is a perspectiveivi'ew of theim proveddevice, and 7 i through the same.

This improved noise producing device c011 sists of companion sections '1and 2 which have I telescoping engagement with each other and are to beslid longitudinally when the device isinuse'. r.

The outer section 2 has a tubular body 3 which fits about the body4;ofthe section 1 and has a head 5 at its'outer end, the marginalportions of which areclampedto thewalls of the body as shown at '6.

' The section 1 is hollow and has at its inner end a head 7 which maybe'formed'integral with the walls of the body or firmly secured thereto inany desired manner.

There has also been provided ahead 8 for the outer end of the innersection. This head is formed separate from the body portion of theoutersection and be soldered ot otherwise firmly secured tereto or be vide a:device offthis'character "including telescoping sectionswhich are to,be'iforoed towards each other and will be yieldably held The improvednoise producing devi'ce'isf the accompanying drawingsgf it v p ctohavecontacting engagement with the head 7 ofthe'inner section andcause noises to be Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view:

formed with a marginal rim 9 whichis threadedup'onithewallsft as shownat 10 or firmly" but detachably secured in any other desired manner,This "outer headfis perforated as I shownat' 11 so that sound 'waves'maypass outwardly from the inner section 'when the device is in use.

ln order to control sliding movement of the two SflGhlO-DS relative toeach other and produce no seswhen. the device is in use, there 60.;

has been provided a roughened rod 12' which is'prefera'bly inthe form ofa threaded bolt of adesiredlengthand-thickness. Thisbolt" is passedthrough an opening formed in the 7 center era; head 5 with its head '13bearing 65;: against "the outer face "of the head 5,"and upon" the boltare applied securing nuts 121, which when tightened will cause the headof p the outer section to belfirmly gripped and the bolt held firmly inI place in axial relation to 7 the two "sections. 1

opening 15 is formed centrally through.

rod oribolt to pass through it, it will be suflif 7 ciently' small tocause the threads of the bolt producedjwhenfthe two sections are slide;longitudinallyof each other. A nut 16 which i is threadediuponthe free"end "portionf of thebolt serves to engage the inner head'Tof theinnersect ionand limit sliding movement of thej'two sefc'tionsaway fromeachother. A coil spring 17 vwhich'is disposedin the outer 1 Y section andconfined between the head 5 thereof and the innerhead' 7ifof the innersection yieldably resists inward movement of the, in; Her section andserves to move the two sectionsaway from each other after they'havebeenpressed towards each other; f H
